Tiger's Eye Genuine is made from the brownish-gold stone with rippling bands of light that remind you of cat's eyes. The gemstone, a member of the quartz family, is geolically stained with dark iron oxide creating the distinctive bands and markings called the chatoyant effect. Great for landscapes and portraiture, this beautiful olive drab pigment makes versatile nuetrals when mixed with white. OriginalTM Oils are our classic, highly pigmented professional grade, lead-free oil paints. Artists love their color strength and lightfastness. With uniform drying time and surface appearance, rich colors and buttery consistency, they are wonderful to work with.
